Will it last?

Yep, it's good to see for a change. How many are rocking up cause of 'new stadium syndrome' and how many will slump off once the novelty wears off in a season or two.



Solve this, you've cracked it but Saints fans are notorious at supporting from their armchairs and the pubs (even when the team has seen unprecedented success), such as 10k averages in double winning seasons.

Next season will be the time to answer that I think. Getting fans to the new stadium won't have been difficult, encouraging them to renew once the initial excitement has calmed down might be though.



We need bigger crowds across the board and we should easily be looking at least 5 teams (us, Saints, Wire, Hull, Leeds, maybe Bradford also) with 12k+ averages in 2012 which is excellent. Teams like HKR, Hudds, Cas and Catalans need to push closer to the 10k mark while Salford should get a few more in for their first season in a new ground also. London's should improve now they have dropped the Harlequins name and Widnes I imagine will have a significantly higher average attendance than Crusaders did. Wakefield scraped in to this years SL by the skin of their teeth and the owners now have a big job on to justify that and start getting people through the gate.

Getting back to Wigan RL season tickets, my missus hasn't renewed this season due to one reason or another. She has however, taken calls twice in the past few weeks from Wigan RL staff (not automated message, an actual person BTW) with regards to renewal. The first was a reminder that the renewal date was coming up and the other a couple of days ago with regards to offers for match day tickets (discounts, half price magic tickets...etc), they were on the phone for around five minutes plugging it!



Fair play to them for trying I suppose!





Assuming they are contacting everyone on the database not yet taken up a season ticket, hopefully they will convert a few using these tactics.

Get January out the way then i expect a little burst for season tickets...everybody is skint that first few weeks after christmas.

Scrum tickets available on ST this year?

WOW

just seen how cheap Wigan season tickets are, think you should be looking at 15-16k season ticket holders at them prices, IL has done a great job for both club and supporters since his takeover.

As of yesterday Wigan had sold 9723 STs

Saints had sold 9600. who'd have thought eh.

yes

I know, who'd have thought that after a year away from st helens, the first year in their brand new state of the art (

) stadium, St Helens still cant sell as many season tickets as Wigan Rugby League. FIOS. Wonder what the comparison will be in 2013 when the novelty has worn off?

Yep, nearly 2000 more season tickets for this year than last year's average, who'd have thought indeed.
